The thought of coding another menu made me sick, so the other night I put together the basic idea of a world map as a transition between missions and it turned out to be surprisingly easy to put together.
I decided to bring back an old piece I'd made for the overworld of a previous, unfinished game to use for this area's world map. I'm trying to use mostly old samples libraries for this game so it was a bit of a challenge making this string quartet sound decent with Roland Sound Canvas instruments. Mileage may vary, I'll have to sit with this version a while and decide how I feel. Still, it's one of my favorite tunes I've made and I'm excited for it to actually be used in something.
yeah there was a gif here the whole time, I thought it was weird how I couldn't get it to display. thanks cohost staff for fixing old posts with this issue!
